背景:黄褐斑是一种普遍的色素性疾病,但其发病机制尚不清楚,对有效治疗构成挑战。文献计量分析,一种新颖的文学研究方法,提供了通过定性和定量方法评估研究趋势的机会。本研究利用文献计量学方法对现有的黄褐斑治疗文献进行分析,审查有影响力的出版物,机构,国家,和作者通过统计分析。
方法:为了检索与黄褐斑治疗主题相关的手稿,我们使用以下搜索公式进行了搜索:(TS=(黄褐斑或黄褐斑或“妊娠面具”)和TS=(治疗或治疗)。我们搜索了WebofScience核心收藏数据库,涵盖2000年至2023年的出版物。VOSviewer,CiteSpace和文献计量在线网站(https://bibliometric.com/app)用于进行此文献计量分析。我们的分析侧重于各种因素,包括出版物,作者共同作者,机构,国家,引文分析,关键词共现,参考文献共同引用和期刊共同引用。
结果:在2000年至2023年之间,共发表了943篇文章和200篇评论,累计引用了8628篇。每个项目的平均引用次数为18.85,每年的平均引用次数为292.69。最多产的作者,张顺根,共发表了9篇文章。卡里奥大学成为顶级研究机构。美国在文章出版物方面领先,有276篇。在过去的5年里,该领域的研究趋势主要集中在氨甲环酸和表皮黄褐斑上,如出版物和关键词的突发分析所示。
结论:美国在机构和研究成果方面继续领先。当前的重点是对氨甲环酸和激光治疗的细致实施。促进各国之间加强合作至关重要,机构,和作者,以促进改进的研究。
BACKGROUND: Melasma is a prevalent pigmented disease, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear, posing challenges for effective treatment. Bibliometric analysis, a novel approach to literature research, offers the opportunity to evaluate research trends through qualitative and quantitative methods. This study utilizes bibliometric methods to analyze the existing literature on melasma treatment, examining influential publications, institutions, countries, and authors through statistical analysis.
METHODS: In order to retrieve manuscripts related to the topic of melasma treatment, we conducted a search using the search formula: (TS = (melasma or Chloasma or \"mask of pregnancy\")) AND TS = (treatment or therapy). We searched through the Web of Science Core Collection database, covering publications from 2000 to 2023. VOSviewer, CiteSpace and the Bibliometric online site (https://bibliometric.com/app) were used to conduct this bibliometric analysis. Our analysis focused on various factors including publications, authors co-authorship, institutions, countries, citation analysis, keywords co-occurrence, references co-citation and journal co-citation.
RESULTS: A total of 943 articles and 200 reviews were published between 2000 and 2023, accumulating a total of 8628 citations. The average number of citations per item was 18.85, and the average number of citations per year was 292.69. The most prolific author, Sungeun Chang, contributed a total of 9 articles. Cario University emerged as the top research institution. The United States led in terms of article publications with a count of 276. In the past 5 years, the research trends in this field have primarily focused on tranexamic acid and epidermal melasma, as indicated by the burst analysis of publications and keywords.
CONCLUSIONS: The United States continues to lead in terms of institutions and research output. The current emphasis is on the meticulous implementation of tranexamic acid and laser therapy. It is crucial to foster enhanced collaboration among countries, institutions, and authors to facilitate improved research.
